Perhaps the inflation we have been experiencing has served to render that projection less useful? In any event, there is no YTD data for 2023 included on the spreadsheet. Instead, the newest information on the spreadsheet is the Final data for 2022, which replaces the previous 2022 YTD numbers.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>I will keep my eyes open for 2023 YTD data and if that happens to land in SLJ, I will update the spreadsheet once again.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Thank you,</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Jim</div><div><br></div><div data-marker="__SIG_PRE__">Jim Flury<br>Technical Services Manager<br>The Library Network<br>41365 Vincenti Court<br>Novi, MI 48375<br>248-536-3100, ext 133<br>Note New Fax Number: 248-716-5584<br>Note New Email Address:jflury@tln.org</div></div></body></html>
